Ohio Professor David Ridpath Quoted On the Future of MAC Sports and Television Contracts

Posted: 5/6/2017 9:32:16 AM

David Ridpath Professor of Sports Administration in the Business college is also head of the Drake Group and a former Wrestling coach at our beloved alma mater. He seems to have been quoted a fair amount with all the news about ESPN and the future of televised college sports. In the first linked article below, he even talks about the future of MAC sports and specifically Buffalo. I thought some of you might find it interesting reading.

Good articles. I have thought for several years that higher education was in a bubble. Athletic departments are a part of the problem. Attendance is way down and coaches salaries are way up. That Duquesne, who averages a few hundred fans a game, is paying Dambrot 1M says it all. Football is not sustainable for most MAC schools.
